My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
Except that, E = 1/2 m v^2. You can’t get rid of that m. All else being equal, lethality scales linearly with vehicle weight. The safety features that exist are still for the occupants; there are crumple zones for decelerating another vehicle hitting head on, not foam padding for protecting pedestrians. Some features of trucks are extra bad for impacts, but a heavy EV is going to be worse than the same frame with less mass.
Don’t need legislation. Simply needed mechanical sorting. Place barriers only reasonably-sized vehicles can fit through without being damaged. Added bonuses: traffic calming, driver competency testing.
Since currently I pay for roads in my property taxes AT THE SAME RATE AS EVERY MOTORIST, this would result in a tremendous household savings for me.
Right? You don’t need rights to take up arms against the government, and rights aren’t going to fucking help you if you try.
Start of walk after 3.5 minutes of fluff and ads
Okay, so walk me through this. This is what I got.
Guy: You have to wait just as long to pass one cyclist as two abreast.
You: I only take up half a lane to pass a lone cyclist.
Me: So you have to wait until the lane is clear.
You: No, I am a good driver.
Me: WTF?!
That’s exactly what someone who understands where that calf comes from and the life it is going to have thinks. Do you look at photos of child slaves and think, “Awww, they’re so cute!”
Just what do you think happens to these animals?
Not in terms off K:D ratio
The only women who appreciate being confronted with the consequences of their animal consumption are vegans, and vegans hate ranchers.
The guy who thinks being delayed by a protest is tantamount to kidnapping and murdering is casting aspersions on other’s education.
If you’re just there a minute, there is a correspondingly small chance someone will come along and do something to the car that inconvenienced or endangered them. It all works out just fine. Roll the dice.
??? You expect the other driver to drive on the fucking shoulder because you can’t wait literally half a second to pass a cyclist??
Okay, so you only partially hit the oncoming car. Great.
You’re not coming off as clever as you imagine.
What you’re missing is illiteracy.
